WhatsApp privacy policy not withdrawn; the probe must go on, says CCI

The Competition Commission of India Monday said that the instant messaging app WhatsApp had not yet withdrawn its updated privacy policy of 2021 and that the probe against the platform must continue.

In its submission before a division bench headed by Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma, CCI said that the inquiry being done by it was completely different from the issues raised in another case being heard by the Supreme Court.
